    2 years is way too short for investing. You are looking at keeping you money in cash, and the best interest rates are in current accounts.

    There's no limited to the number of current accounts you can open, but most of the ones that pay interest have T&Cs that you have to meet to gain said interest.

    Open a few that pay well.
    What will your verse be?
